The CSJ Awards 2020 are focussed on finding charities and social enterprises who are proving themselves effective at preventing and tackling poverty in Britain.

Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service

Nominations are open for the 2020 Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service – the MBE for volunteer groups. The awards recognise outstanding work done by local volunteer groups, many of which are Clinks members. Applications across the prisons and criminal justice field are encouraged in order to represent the entire diversity of voluntary groups.

Unsung Heroes Awards, from CQC

Do you know a member of non-medical NHS staff who always goes the extra mile?

The Unsung Hero Awards shine a light on the hard work that non-medical staff and volunteers provide the NHS. Non-medical & non-clinical employees make up nearly half of the NHS’s workforce, and the awards seek to recognise the massive contribution they make.

Nominations are now open for the 2020 awards. There are 11 categories, including volunteer of the year, disability champion, estates & ancillary and admin & clerical.
